I tend to think in simple intuition pumps (like the single stream of text). I think most other researchers do too, but it can be intimidating to lead with broader intuition, since it opens more surface area to criticism. It’s safer and more defensible to focus on results and methodology without narrative.
Writing is also just hard! This post took around 30h to write.
Thank you, this is very meaningful to hear.
